Fremantle Cup 2018

Hey folks, yes Pure Steel sat 3 wide for an "entire Miracle Mile" a very slow miracle mile and the MM is over approximately 1600 metres not 2600....as Paul has pointed out, Lazarus's effort was OUTSTANDING, I know there are a few among us that have been around a while, who can remember ANY other incident either side of the ditch where a group one race over further than the mile was won by a horse sitting 3 wide the entire journey?? Bit of a harness tragic as some of you know the answer is ZERO, how about you all give the horse and his camp the credit they deserve? What about the time? what is the track record for that distance? anything like sub 1.54? leave alone sub 1.53?? If you take the blinkers off you will notice that Lazarus dug VERY deep near the line trying to fight off the winner...I reckon another 50 yards Lazarus wins!! There were some on this forum that were bagging the horse through he ID heats, he came out and done the big job on the big night, as predicted.

Is Lazarus the best horse ever?, he is a ripper but in order to get that tag he still has a power of work to do, but at the moment he is way better than anything in the Southern Hemisphere.

Does Lombo Rapida's 2000 Chariots win qualify?

My memory of that race was she was 3 wide for a long time Wayne, not so sure the journey, but if you have got me, I'd love to see the run if it can be dug up.
cheers, Dan

Have been searching for a video of the race for a few years Dan. I've looked through Kyle's (Amlin) terrific youtube stash. Any leads Kyle?

Albeit not a grand circuit race but it was a "a horse just can't do that" moment for me, hence the memory. She did draw wide, as you'd know. I did wonder if her remaining wide throughout (my recollection) was tactical due to the rain affected state of the track, but still. Pretty sure John Justice on Shakamaker was just as "amazed".

Was an opportunity to jog your, or anyone else's memory of the race Dan. Hoping we might dredge up a video of the race. Cheers, Wayne.
